The Chicago Tribune this morning carried the news of her passing...

The story

Since the link will probably be available only a short while:

Abby Mandel Meyer was the founder of  Chicago's 10-year-old Green City Market, longtime food columnist  (The Weekend Cook) at the Tribune and member of Les Dames d'Escoffier. Her spirit lives on in the market, a wonderful confluence of farmers and food lovers, chefs and amateur cooks alike.

I remember her as the author of Cuisinart cookbooks and one on food of the Midwest.

The article doesn't mentioned the cause of death, or any other details. I had never met her, but I still feel like I'm losing an old friend.

This is very sad news. Her obituary is now up on the website. Abby's smiling face will be missed at the market, but it is one great part of her legacy. Celebrating the Midwestern Table is one of my favorite books.
